Preparatory School Handbook for Parents September 2020
Preparatory School Handbook for Parents September 2020 Ages 7 - 13 years PREPARATORY SCHOOL WELCOME : WELCOME Welcome to the Dean Close Preparatory School Handbook for Parents and Guardians. The purpose of this Handbook is, above all else, to be a help to you as parents as your child embarks on their time at Dean Close Preparatory School. We count it as a wonderful privilege to be involved in the formation of young lives. The relationship which we cultivate with you is at the heart of our success and we look forward to working in close partnership with you. The Handbook does not set out to replace, but rather complement, the important personal communication which will continue throughout your child’s time with us. We hope it will come to be an important source of information. We have done all we can to make sure that most questions about policies, academic structure and our pastoral system are answered within these pages, along with the more important day to day information such as dress codes, timetables and contact details.

The Portland Square and Albert Place District: Land, Houses and Early Occupants As Originally Published in the Cheltenham Local History Society Journal
The Portland Square and Albert Place District: land, houses and early occupants As originally published in the Cheltenham Local History Society Journal. Reproduced with the kind permission of the Author MIKE GRINDLEY T'is gone with its thorns and its roses, With the dust of dead ages to mix! Time's charnel forever encloses The year Eighteen Hundred and Six THUS THE LOCAL PRESS i alluded to the 1806 Cheltenham Inclosure Award which allotted ownership of areas of potential building land on the north side of the town, including the piece of orchard that later became the Portland Square development. Numbered 223 under the Award, it bordered the Prestbury Road opposite the SE edge of the future Pittville Estate; to the south were the lands on which the streets of Fairview came to be built. Detail from Merrett’s 1834 map of Cheltenham, showing extent of Portland Square development by then. THE LAND AND ITS OWNERS: 1739 1824 The earliest mention of land so far seen in Portland Square deeds ii is in the November 1739 Will of Samuel Whithorne Esq., of the ancient Charlton Kings family. On 2 January 1801 his grandson, John Whithorne the younger, sold to William Wills of Cheltenham, gent., for £200 ‘all those three acres and a half of arable land [in four lots] lying dispersedly in and about a field in the parish of Cheltenham called Sandfield, otherwise Prestbury Field, otherwise Whaddon Field’. The tenant was John Peacey, a Charlton Kings plasterer. William Wills was a peruke maker of the then 48 High Street, who died in Spring 1804, leaving all his houses and lands to his widow Penelope, their son William to inherit on her death. -
